Chapter 9 Candle Shadow · 9 ——It really looks like a cat.

When Yan Cun was fooled into the car by Ji Shuwang, he refused in his heart.

On the one hand, the address registered in Ji Liao's personal file is located in Dongcheng District, and the direction of the two is just opposite.

On the other hand, Ji Xiao's forensic doctor didn't even bother to lower the car window. He was holding the steering wheel with both hands and looking ahead at this moment—the two had known each other for less than 24 hours, and they had just quarreled today. Maybe the other party was thinking about it. "Ji Shuwang, this unlucky boy, why does everyone get into the car?"

But he only hesitated for a second - probably because he fell once yesterday, and his broken phone was stuck on the Didi taxi interface for almost 3 minutes.

Electronic payments do have their drawbacks.

According to what he knew about Ji Liao, if the other party really didn't want to give him a ride, he would have already slammed on the gas pedal to give him a few breaths of car exhaust.

Yan Cun's rule of dealing with things - no matter how cold and aloof a person is, he should be dealt with as arrogant first.

So he reported the address without any scruples, got in the co-pilot, lowered his head and started fiddling with his phone.

After 2 minutes, the phone finally recovered smoothly after he forced it to shut down and restart, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and entered the empty state with his eyes ahead.

The air in the car returned to silence again.

The tip of his nose shrugged slightly - when he met Ji Liao in the corridor of the detachment at noon, he had just knocked over the first box of takeaway, and the air around him was covered by that sweet smell.

Now that the distance between the shoulders of the two is less than 20 centimeters, he only noticed the faint smell of mint on the other person's body.

He couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at Ji Liao.

After the car drove forward for a certain distance, the two hesitated silently for a while, and then opened their mouths at the same time to break the embarrassment——

"Uncle Fang... still living alone?"

"Have you always had such a cold and unreasonable personality?"

"..." Ji Liao, "???"

Yan Cun: ...?

Why should I owe?

Ji Liao was stunned for half a second, his brows were slightly frowned, and the corners of his mouth instantly became a straight line.

Yan Cun recalled the other party's words and asked, "Huh? You know him? How did you know him?"

Ji Liao didn't seem to want to talk to him very much.

Large rollover incident.

"Uncle Fang? Fang Yushan...?" Ji Shuwang raised his head from the phone screen, leaned forward, leaned his elbows on the back of the passenger seat and said, "He has business cooperation with our elder brother. We often meet."

"Cooperation?" Yan Cun came back to his senses, "What's your elder brother's name?"

Ji Shuwang said, "His name is Ji Heng."

Yan Cun frowned and thought for a while.

Twenty-three years ago, after Yan Cun's parents died in a fire in a villa area in the eastern suburbs, he was adopted by his father's old friend Fang Yushan.

Yan Cun once asked Fang Yushan what kind of people his parents were. Fang Yushan just said——'Yan Zhao is a very good person. He rescued me from suffering. I have no children and no daughters. Say his child is my child'.

It may also be because of this reason that Fang Yushan has been deliberately trying to regain the old business of the Yan family.

Retired public servants cannot participate in profit-making activities related to their original work and business. Therefore, after retiring for a few years, Fang Yushan tried to develop in the direction of financial technology, and had more or less business ties with Chengfeng Group.

"...I see." Yan Cun nodded.

He calmly turned his head and glanced at Ji Liao—if he said that the other party wanted to break the embarrassment just now, it seemed that he really didn't want to talk to him now.

"I've asked him several times," Yan Cun coughed lightly, and answered Ji Liao's first question, "He always said 'it's cool to be single for a while, and it's cool to be single all the time'."

In the past, when Fang Yushan was in good health, Yan Cun just followed him freely, never thinking about persuading him to find a companion—now that his old man's health is not as good as before, Yan Cun is really worried.

Ji Liao didn't respond, and concentrated on driving the car ahead.

Yan Cun: "..."

Why is this man like a cat? ?

Ji Shuwang raised his head from the screen, his eyes flicked back and forth between the two of them, and he couldn't help laughing: "Team Yan, please ignore him, he does this to everyone, not you..." She He raised his hand to touch Ji Liao, "Right, brother?"

Ji Liao: "?"

... what sister?Can I get a refund?

Yan Cun laughed a few times in cooperation, for a moment he didn't know whether to answer the conversation, for fear of being thrown into the middle of the road by the ice ball directly drifting the brakes.

"Brother?" She was dissatisfied and raised her hand to poke Ji Liao's shoulder, "Isn't it?"

Ji Liao drove forward for a while with a blank expression on his face, as if he was a little annoyed by Ji Shuwang's question, he seemed to force a "hmm": "Driving, don't make trouble."

"That's right," Ji Shuwang said with a smile, "My brother is quite gentle, he just saw you standing there by yourself, looking pitiful..."

"Ji Shuwang."

Ji Shuwang followed Shanruliu's words and changed his words: "We both decided to take you for a ride after seeing you pitifully blowing the cold wind there just now."

Yan Cun laughed, and couldn't help asking in his heart: So why do you treat everyone like this?

Ji Liao: "Because of trouble."

"Ah?" Yan Cun turned his head, "?? Did I ask?"

Ji Liao said helplessly, "I see."

He parked the car downstairs at Fang Yushan's house: "Here we are."

"Oh," Yan Cun unbuckled his seat belt and opened the door to get out of the car, "Okay...thank you."

Ji Liao spit out two words lightly: "No need."

After Ji Liao disappeared in the street corner with his car, Yan Cun raised his wrist to check the time, and walked upstairs quickly with his long legs.

——It really looks like a cat.

………………

After opening the door and changing his shoes, Fang Yushan leaned against the threshold and stared quietly at Yan Cun for a few seconds, his eyes locked on his bloodshot eyes.

Yan Cun: "?"

Fang Yushan said slowly, "If you stay up late at a young age, you will definitely have problems with your body when you are old."

Yan Cun retorted: "If you didn't stay up late when you were young, wouldn't your body still have problems?"

He put the materials brought back by the police station on the sofa, walked slowly to the desk, and couldn't help yawning.

"I'm different," Fang Yushan sat down at the table, "Your father used to be in good health, so don't play poorly with a good hand."

"Isn't this a serious case..." Yan Cun took a sip from the soup bowl, "This time the case is a bit complicated. There is some connection between the suspect and the victim, but there is no key pointing evidence."

Since the former captain of the criminal investigation detachment resigned due to illness, it didn't take much time for Yan Cun to be promoted from the deputy team to the main team. 719+721 was his first major case in the past six months.

The new director Huang Junfeng is not as shrewd and tactful as Fang Yushan. In a sense, he is honest and honest. He didn't see that his superiors have been watching the new captain Yan Cun, so he had to ask Fang Yushan first when encountering any problems.

"Take your time, don't worry," Fang Yushan said, "If you read it several times, you can always find key clues."

"So I brought back all the materials," Yan Cun nodded, "Slow through the night."

——He is not one of the clever ones, and every time he encounters a case, he still has to start with the details.

More than ten years ago, Fang Yushan, who had just become the captain of the criminal investigation detachment, resolutely rushed into the scene of the explosion to rescue the criminal in a serious criminal case, and thus solved the sensational Qinjiang serial murder case.

At that time, Yan Cun didn't understand why Fang Yushan rushed to the scene regardless of his own life, and the rescue target was obviously a vicious criminal.

Fang Yushan told him: "Sanctioning criminals is what the law needs to do. All we have to do is turn the criminals over to the public security organs and hand them over to the law."

So Yan Cun chose this profession.

He suddenly remembered what he had just heard in Ji Liao's car, raised his eyes and asked, "By the way, you know the Ji family...it seems to be called Ji Heng, right?"

"Huh?" Fang Yushan looked at him, "I know him, what's the matter?"

Yan Cun said: "The hostages held by the suspect in the 719 case yesterday before he fell from the building, and the new forensic doctor in the bureau, both belong to the Ji family."

"Really?" Fang Yushan nodded thoughtfully, "I have some contact with the three brothers and sisters. I remember that the eldest Ji Heng...it was very hard work."

"How?" Yan Cun asked.

"Their father, Ji Cheng, died of cerebral infarction six years ago," Fang Yushan recalled. "Ji Heng had just turned 26 at the time, and his younger siblings were still in high school. If he took over such a large Chengfeng Group by himself, he could still do it." So far, it’s been pretty good.”

"Oh..." Yan Cun filled a bowl of rice, "What about their mother?"

Fang Yushan put a piece of meat into Yan Cun's bowl, and said: "Ji Heng and Ji Liao were born to the same mother, and died of amniotic fluid embolism when the second child was born. The new wife Liang Wanyi gave birth to the third child, Ji, and hoped for trouble. Bipolar disorder... So Ji Heng is really not easy, I know their father well, and I usually help them a little."

Yan Cun nodded.

Although his and Ji Liao's personalities were not compatible, he did not expect that the two people's life experiences were so similar.

Not really.

In a sense, the Ji family is more difficult.

Yan Cun didn't have a big obsession with his biological parents. First, because he was still young at that time, he had almost forgotten what his parents looked like. He only remembered that he waited at the nursery door for a long time until the fifth day. One day, Fang Yushan led him back to his present home.

Secondly, Fang Yushan did raise him as his own son and gave him enough care, education and respect.

The boundaries between adoptive parents and adopted sons are rather blurred, and it is easy to spoil or be too strict if you are not careful, but Fang Yushan has a good grasp of this aspect-the two get along like friends.

Yan Cun couldn't help but sighed.

"I'm full." He took out a tissue and wiped his mouth. "Eat more, don't just eat me. Are you turning me into a pig?"

"You got off work too late, I ate something early," Fang Yushan smiled, "Just now I asked Aunt Liu to cook you a cup of chicken soup, take it home and drink it."

"Okay, it just so happens that we have to stay up late at night."

If the case is not solved, Yan Cunjue will not be able to sleep well, and will have to dream of Luo Qingsen in his dreams.

"Don't be too late," Fang Yushan patted him on the shoulder, "I can't hold it for two days."

Yan Cun nodded in response, went downstairs to scan a shared bicycle, and rode home leisurely.
